I worked in Belgium for a stint, in Flanders actually, at a rug factory in St. Baafs en Vij. We had an apartment on the beach in Ostende, but it was autumn and very wet and dreary. Although when push comes to shove it's sometimes hard to tell the difference between August and November in that part of the country. It was an interesting experience and I loved the fries with mayo, which was very popular street food. Whenever I went to Holland I noticed that the dish was advertised as Vlaamischen Frites . pardon my Dutch.
I know, I know . I heard all the Dutch jokes made by Flemish colleagues. But there are two things that I'm sure we can agree on: Belgian beer and chocolate!

Just going through my EDI-L messages and see this comment. Fries & Mayo is typically Belgian, not Flemish!!! This is one of the things French and Flemish speaking Belgians agree on! Anyways. it was fun to see my country of origin mentioned on EDI-L :) From: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Emmanuel Hadzipetros Sent: Friday, February 08, 2013 1:57 PM To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> ; [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: [EDI-L] Re: <OFF-TOPIC> Condiments for fries Either way, Belgian (Flemish actually) mayonnaise or Canadian poutine, that's a lotta cholesterol!

No!! You are thinking of Belgium. In the UK red (ketchup) or brown (preferably HP) sauce is used for chips[1] Regards Chris [1] In the UK fries are called chips, chips are called crisps. -- Chris Johnson mobile:+44 (0)7785 302122 Fax: +44 (0)870 0519 818 EDI website http://www.edimatrix.co.uk EDIMatrix Ltd work: 0844 414 6386 or +44 20 8778 1402 Registered in UK no. 2777624 Reg.Office: 34 Sydenham Rd, London SE26 5QF [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] This email (including any attachments) may contain information that is private or business confidential.
